FUTMQ

A brilliant send-up of Gregg Easterbrook's Tuesday Morning Quarterback column, to which I am addicted but which I nonetheless believe thoroughly deserves the smack-down. A sampling:

Sweet'n'Sour Play Of The Week: Philip Rivers of the Chargers play faked a run, and then threw a pass for a touchdown. The play-fake was sweet. The fact that the defense was comprised mainly of men who did not graduate from their respective colleges, and therefore do not understand the nuances of the play fake as TMQ does, was sour.

80% Of This Column Was Written Using Autotext! DirecTV has a monopoly! There is "dark matter" in the universe! CEO's who fly private planes are fucking assholes! Coaches only make decisions that will make them look good! No one touched the running back on that run! He shouldn't get any credit! My son Spenser is very advanced and will ruin the curve for your unintelligent child!

If you're a Greggggggg regular, go on over and read the rest, including an hysterical Cheerleader of the Week riff that I'm not going to reprint on a family blog.

Yips! to Jonathan Last over at Galley Slaves, who suspects a mole.
